This hotel boasts a stunning location on top of a hill, with views that are nothing short of breathtaking. The rooms are comfortably furnished and give you a beautiful view of the valley, which I loved. The service was excellent, with staff going above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant experience. However, the dining options were a bit pricey and could use some improvement. Overall, it’s a wonderful place to visit, especially for the views and service.
